Week 4 in Room 11

Welcome to this week's post. The week seems to have gone by pretty quickly and there has definitely been a lot happening, with swimming tabloids still to come.
In the classroom we looked at life in NZ around the 1840's and the students played a game to help them understand what it could have been like for both Maori and Europeans at that time.

We also had our third softball session on a really hot Tuesday. This time they were using the bat!  After being told the correct way to stand, it was "game on!" I think Junior managed the hit of the day!

The Correct Stance

Jacob: First batter up!

Feel the tension!

Wednesday night saw the Swimming sports. Well done to all those who 1) tried out and 2) made it to the finals. Some of you were a little bit out of your comfort zone but gave it your best. Part of the House Swimming Competition was designing a Sheppard House Banner. Congratulations to Bella who was part of the design team. Here are the House Captains with the big reveal, at our House Assembly:

We also had a lot of fun learning the new House Chant ( although we may need a bit of practise before Athletics!). 

The following are some images from last night.

So that's a quick recap of this week!
